Is it possible to calculate the required DDoS power to seize a server?
I know the DDoS efficiency relies on the victim's firewall version, but it seems even if my DDoS hits for 400 Gbps or 4,000Gbps, I always need to DDoS the server twice to seize it.
Is it possible to calculate the required DDoS power to seize a server prior the attack, considering their firewall version and their hardware?

I don't believe so, but this in game tool could help:

I believe level 3 NPCs are 1500 or something.

Answer 2
There is an online calculator available imported to JSFiddle here.
You will need to supply your Gbps, Victim's Firewall, Server Count, and Internet values to calculate what you need.
Note: This is data pulled from BitCoder's answer, but it involved me extracting the online calculator and making it work in JSFiddle, so I'm posting it as a separate answer.
